Important Safety Information:

weather enjoyment of your off-road
capable vehicle. Before installation,
please take a moment to review the
a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury. You CAN be KILLED or SERIOUSLY HURT if you don’t
follow instructions.
a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury. You CAN be moderately HURT and also may suffer
property damage if you don’t follow instructions.
Careful attention is required to this instruction or operation but does
generally not relate to personal injury. Damage to your Quadratec®
product or other property may result if you don’t follow instructions.
Before You Begin Installation:
Congratulations on your purchase of the
QuadraTop Clearview Windstopper!
This high quality roll bar curtain is designed to enhance fair weather driving
pleasure while limiting wind buffeting,
providing shade and minimal shelter
from light rains. We have used only the
finest materials in creating this curtain
but like any product that is exposed to
the elements, there is some general
maintenance that is required to keep it
looking like new. Please see page 6 for
these important maintenance tips.
Important: For a smooth fit and ease
of installation, this product should be
installed at temperatures above 72
degrees. Below this temperature, the
fabric may contract an inch or more
making it difficult to install. We
highly recommend taking the product
out of the package and letting it sit
inside a warm place or direct sun
light for 1-2 hours before you install
the top. When warm, this product will
install quickly.
When unpacking, check to make sure all
parts are included. If any part is missing
or broken, please call Quadratec
Customer Service at 800-745-6037
as soon as possible.
Important: Make sure you become familiar with the installation process of this
top by reading the following instruction
sheet thoroughly. As you will see, these
instructions are broken-out depending
on the door configuration of your 07Current JK Wrangler vehicle.
It is normal for fabric and soft glass to
contract and wrinkle when stored in the
shipping carton. In a few days the fabric
will relax and wrinkles will disappear.
Thank you again for your purchase and
let’s start the installation process!

As mentioned in the introduction, the
Clearview Windstopper for 4 Door JK
Wrangler is only fully functional when
used in conjuction with our QuadraTop
Tonno Cover. These are the steps to
make the proper attachment between
your Clearview Windstopper and the
compatible Tonno Cover.
Pull up on the front reinforced edge of
the Tonno and press the snaps against
the Tonno to mark the locations.
At the 3 marked locations, push the
sharp end of a Snap Head Screw
through the Tonno from the backing
side and through both layers of fabric,
to make a hole for each snap. Once the
holes are formed, pull the screw back
out of the hole. Then push the screw
through the hole from the finished vinyl
side so that the snap is on top of the
vinyl. Using a phillips head screwdriver
and a 9mm wrench, install an Acorn
Locknut over the pointed end of each
Snap Head Screw. Snap each of the 3
snaps for secure attachment.
SECURE TONNO TO
CLEARVIEW WINDSTOPPER
With your Tonno Cover in position, slide
the plastic hook inside the bottom of the
Clearview Windstopper onto the plastic
hook along the front of the Tonno.
OPTIONAL: INSTALL 3 SNAPS
TO SECURE TONNO TO CURTAIN
Pull the flap on the rear of the Clearview
Windstopper out over the top of the
front edge of the Tonno. Rub chalk on
the snaps on the Windstopper flap.

Care and Maintenance:
Windows: It is very important that you
keep your QuadraTop windows clean!
Use a mild soap and water solution to
gently clean your windows. NEVER
wipe your windows clean with a dry
cloth! Dust and dirt on a dry cloth can
scratch your windows causing “fogging” and permanent damage. When removing your windows, store them with
a towel between the panels/rear windows to protect them from damage. If
frost or ice forms on the outside of your
windows during the winter, DO NOT
use an ice scraper to remove this frost.
Over time you will see small micro
scratches in your windows which are
natural wear and tear. These Micro
scratches can be “polished” out using
the window polish available at
Quadratec.com.
Your QuadraTop accessory is made of
the finest materials available but to keep
it looking new and for the maximum
possible wear, it will need periodic
cleaning and basic maintenance. The
main threats to your soft top are pollutants, dirt and grime. By keeping your
product clean you will prolong its life.
We recommend the following to keep
your top like new:
Washing: The soft top fabric should be
washed often using a mild soap, warm
water and a soft bristle brush. You can
also use special soft top cleaners available on our website at quadratec.com
Make sure that after cleaning you rinse
with clear water to remove all traces of
soap to avoid residue.
Normal Slider:
Jaws parallel
Water/Fabric: In the event of seeping
through the seams, 3M Scotchgard®
may be applied on the inside of the
seams to stop the leak. Rips in the fabric
may be repaired with Bondex® iron on
patches. Iron the patches to the Inside
of the top, carefully following the
Bondex® instructions.
Damaged Slider:
Jaws Spread
Use pliers to squeeze
jaws back to parallel.
Zippers: Keeping the zipper cleaned and
lubricated with a silicone lubricant
(available online) will help prevent damage and keep the zippers in a smooth
working condition. If zipper opens behind the slider, the slider may have been
spread apart. This problem can usually
be fixed by using an ordinary pair of pliers to bring the sides back into parallel.
Return slider to the end of the zipper in
the normal Open position. Squeeze
lightly at first and test zipper. If the zipper continues to remain open squeeze
more firmly with pliers and try the zipper again. Repeat procedure until your
zipper operates correctly.
Snaps: Not all models have snaps. If
present, keep snaps cleaned and lubricated with silicone to help prevent
snaps from sticking to the studs. If a
snap does become stuck to a stud, use a
screwdriver and GENTLY pry apart to
prevent permanent damage to the snap
or the top fabric.
